For some of you this may be a surprise, but thanks to Facebook I think most of the world knows our good news already! We are “scheduled” to bring a beautiful (of course it’s going to be beautiful) baby into the world on December 29, 2008. Wow….
Lots of things have gone through my head over the last few weeks. Names, weight, height, hair color, whether he/she will arrive on time or early, are we ready, etc. Thoughts of amazement and praise that God has chosen to give us such a wonderful blessing run through my head constantly. We are officially through the first trimester, so we can breathe a little easier knowing that things (as far as we can know) are going smoothly.
I am so excited for my energy to start coming back. I feel like all I have been doing is sleeping the past 2 months. Lucky for me, I have a wonderful man by my side to pick up where I have slacked off:). I can get through the day now without taking a nap, but an early bed time is still a must.
Here is something that I would like to hear your opinion on: whether or not to find out the gender of your baby. Jonathon and I are on opposite ends of this decision. Not that one way is better than the other, but what do you think you would do? Jonathon wants to know, I do not. How do you compromise? Let me know your thoughts.

______________________________________________________________
And you were dead in your trespasses and sins, in which you formerly walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, of the spirit that is now working in the sons of disobedience. Among them we too all formerly lived in the lusts of our flesh, indulging the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest. But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in our transgressions, made us alive together with Christ, and raised us up with Him, and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, so that in the ages to come He might show the surpassing riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them. (Ephesians 2:1-10)

Who really needs to know after all gender is relative isn't it :)
One of my buddies did not find out for either of their children!!! So if you can think of a cool boys name and a cool girls name (preferably names of theologians) then go for not knowing.
I have mixed feelings. My personallity would have to know, but the surprise would be an awesome one too. Since it is your first, let it be a surprise, we get so few good ones in life, enjoy this one. I do disagree about using name of theologians...how boring! Go with really cool names!
you can compromise by this: If Jonathon gets to find out the gender early, then You get to pick the name...
In my personal opinion, I think you should let it be a surprise! (that's what my parents did with both Evan and I) Whooo!
